Times are tough and money is tight, but cooking healthful meals at home doesn't have to cost a lot. These Editor's Choice recipes from SparkRecipes.com are good for your body and your wallet! Each dinner recipe serves at least 4 people for $10 or less. Now that's a steal!

It's a good idea to calculate the cost of a good meal. I tried this a week ago and found that it is healthier and less expensive that it would cost for my family to eat at a fast food without supersizing.

I like the concept, and would love to see more cheap meal ideas along the same lines, but these aren't complete dinners. With many of the recipes providing less than 300 calories per serving (and several under 200), eaters would have to add to the meal, have more than one serving, or plan to eat again in a couple hours. All of these options would add to the cost of food for the meal (or day). How about some bean-based options, with sides included?
